The Japanese carmaker Mazda has just introduced the MX-5 Yusho concept the 2012 Auto Mobil International Show (AMI) in Leipzig, Germany.

Named after the Japanese word for "Victory", the concept features a matte white exterior with a carbon fiber rear diffuser and 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in semi-click Toyo Proxes R888 tires. Inside, the cabin comes with Recaro sport seats and a suede-wrapped steering wheel.
